Wrong! Although you might expect or have heard that you must fall into either one of these two categories, the truth is far more muddled than that.

When we moved here, it became apparent to me that I wasn't going to get by anymore with my outdoorsy LL Bean jackets all the time. Don't get me wrong --- when it's well below freezing and I'm out and about, I'm definitely putting on my huge LL Bean parka for … [Read more...]
